That's my new nickname at the dentist office. "Miss Complications". He has NEVER treated someone who has so many complications. He agrees with me when I say I am an alien. I went in to get a few fillings, and they finished 2 of the fillings, started on the third, and found it went to the root, but they couldn't do a root canal because the roots were crooked and strongly attached to the bone, so they tried to pull the tooth, and the dentist is a lady and I'm sure she doesn't even weigh 100 pounds, but she sure had to stand up and get leverage to get that thing out. When she did, pus came out of my jaw, so that tooth and my jaw were infected and I didn't even know it, which weakened the jawbone, so she broke my jaw (cracked,not a bad break) when getting the tooth out. She said I will probably get more swollen, bruised, more pain and more sick in the next few days because that infection has now been released into my system. So they gave me a really strong antibiotic and strong pain meds. Its thanksgiving here in Canada this weekend, but since we are sick, we are not cooking or having a big dinner until the 10th when we go to the Nursing home to share dinner with my Dad, so that's a blessing, and you know, I AM SO VERY VERY THANKFUL that I live in the days of anesthetic. I was praying that she could get it out easily and remembering horror stories of dentists before there was Novocain, and thought that what I went through was not bad at all compared to what they went through. Now I have no back teeth, so I have to have a partial denture made for the back upper and bottom. Diabetes and lupus REALLY destroy the teeth, even if you brush 3 times a day. That's all I needed, was more pain, and now sepsis, infection in my blood stream, right ? Life is never boring, anyway! The stitches come out in a week. Maybe I'll lose a pound or 2 by only having liquids for that time, but maybe not, since I eat as little as a bird anyway. It would be nice for something good to come out of this.Smile, it makes things better.Blessings, Sheila

Sheila,I am sorry to hear of all the trials you are experiencing and of I admire you because not matter what comes your way you still have been positive in all things and give credit to the Lord for all your blessings.
